  1. These accounts remind me of the the book "The Long Winter" wherein Laura Ingalls described how Pa got lost in a South Dakota blizzard and managed to survive by sitting it out ensconced in a heavy buffalo robe. When morning came he discovered he was within sight of his farmhouse.

  2.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  Thanks, I forgot I had seen your earlier video, but apparently I did give it a thumbs up. 🙂 I know Laura Ingalls Wilder embellished her books, so I can't say with certainty if the story of Pa surviving the night in a buffalo robe is true or apocryphal, but it was entertaining.
